Synopsis
Sorcha Clelland’s Where the Red Fern Grows, titled after Wilson Rawls’ 1961 children’s book about hunting dogs, exists as a love letter to a rave and venue in Ibrox, Glasgow. Filmed at The African Arts Centre in May 2020 during the venue’s demolition and Scotland’s lockdown from COVID-19. The novel begins with an aspiration to heal and a birth of kinship. Character growth is continued through belief in a magic. Performing as SHREK 666, the embodiment of a demonic ogre shifting through monstrous transformation chained to catholicism, he revisits a site and performance which was formerly a scene of Queer Intimacy.
